On the evening of September 14, 2024, officers responded to the 2000 block of Bremen Avenue in St. Louis after reports of a shooting. First responders found a grey Hyundai Kona with an unresponsive 31-year-old African American man in the driver’s seat, who had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The victim was identified as Stanley L. Fischer II of Fairview Heights, Illinois, who lived on the 200 block of Sheffield Court. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department initially treated the death as suspicious; on December 23, 2024, the Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death a homicide. Detectives have continued the homicide investigation but have publicly named no suspects and made no arrests as of late 2024. Authorities have asked the community for tips and anonymous information through CrimeStoppers.
